When I reach to hold you, I'll still be alone

When I hear the ringin of the telephone 
  Em             G 
I'll think it is you 
  Em             G     A 
It will not be true

I know why the river runs 
  Bm       G        D          A 
To a place somewhere far away 
  Bm       G        D          A  
I know why the sky is cryin

I could play the message that you left for me 
               D            Em           G         A           D   Em   G   A 
I can hear your voice and I could still believe 
  Em                            G 
That you will soon me home 
  Em                        G    A 
But you will never come

There's a silence that I don't want to hear 
   Bm                               A 
There's a hole now where my heart used to be 
   G                                        Bm 
They say that healing comes in time

But I don't know what that means 
 

  Em                   G 
I lie here for so long 
  Em                   G         A 
But you will never come
